From the Evangelist,
Greetings, in the mighty matchless name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I trust all is going well for you and your ministry.

We have had some great meetings this summer. There were 118 people who gave their heart to Christ. The next 2 months my schedule is full and I am looking forward to some exciting meetings. Pray for a continued outpouring of the Spirit of God.

I count it an honor and special privilege to be invited to your church and minister as the Lord leads. Also to be invited back is always a special treat for me. Please look at my schedule and if you have family or friends in these areas, please encourage them to attend the meetings.

Mexico Church Project Update: (Current building progress.)

Pastors, next year’s calendar is filling up but there are still a few choice dates open. (See Schedule)

In closing, I want to say thanks to each of you who support us financially each month. By your generous giving we are able to go without any worries and preach the gospel in the regions beyond. Thank you!

Because of Calvary
Bro. Lyndon

"HARD CORE COMMITMENT"
This was taken from a note found on the desk of an African Martyr.

"I'm part of the fellowship of the unashamed. I have the Holy Spirit power.

The die has been cast. I have stepped over the line. The decision has been made - I'm a disciple of His. I won't look back, let up, slow down, back away, or be still. My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, my future is secure. I'm finished and done with low living, sight walking, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tamed visions, worldly talking, cheap giving and dwarfed goals.

I no longer need preeminence, prosperity, position, promotions, plaudits or popularity. I don't have to be right, first, tops, recognized, praised, regarded, or rewarded. I now live by faith, lean on His presence, walk by patience, am uplifted by prayer and I labor with power.

My face is set, my gait is fast, my goal is heaven, my road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions are few, my Guide is reliable, my mission is clear. I cannot be bought, compromised, detoured, lured away, turned back, deluded, or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of the enemy, pander at the pool of popularity, or meander in the maze of mediocrity.

I won't give up, shut up, let up, until I have stayed up, stored up, prayed up, paid up, preached up for the cause of Christ. I am a disciple of Jesus. I must go till He comes, give till I drop, preach till all know, and work until He stops me. And, when He comes for His own, He will have no problem cognizing me...my banner will be clear.

REVIVAL QUOTES

"Revival cannot be organized, but we can set our sails to catch the wind from heaven when God chooses to blow upon His people once again." - G Campbell Morgan

"Revival is that sovereign work of God in which He visits His own people, restoring and releasing them into the fullness of His blessing."
- Robert Coleman

"Revival is the invasion from heaven that brings a conscious awareness of God."
- Stephen Olford

"If the presence of God is in the church, the church will draw the world in. If the presence of God is not in the church, the world will draw the church out."
- Charles Finney

"God's child can conquer anything by prayer. Is it any wonder that Satan does his utmost to snatch that weapon from the Christian or to hinder him in the use of it?"
- Andrew Murray

"Revival is when God gets so sick and tired of being misrepresented that He shows up Himself."
- Leonard Ravenhill

"If you want revival, let me remind you that God only plants the seed of His life in soil which has been broken up by repentance."
- Alan Redpath

When do we need REVIVAL?

Consider these evidences of the need for revival:

when we do not love Him as we once did.

when earthly interests and occupations are more important to us than eternal ones.

when we would rather watch TV and read secular books and magazines than read the Bible and pray.

when church dinners are better attended than prayer meetings.

when concerts draw bigger crowds than prayer meetings.

when we have little or no desire for prayer.

when we would rather make money than give money.

when we put people into leadership positions in our churches who do not meet scriptural qualifications.

when our Christianity is joyless and passionless.

when we know truth in our heads that we are not practicing in our lives.

when we make little effort to witness to the lost.

when we have time for sports, recreation, and entertainment, but not for Bible study and prayer.

when we do not tremble at the Word of God.

when preaching lacks conviction, confrontation, and divine fire and anointing.

when we seldom think thoughts of eternity.

when God's people are more concerned about their jobs and their careers, than about the Kingdom of Christ and the salvation of the lost.

when God's people get together with other believers and the conversation is primarily about the news, weather, and sports, rather than the Lord.

when church services are predictable and "business as usual."

when believers can be at odds with each other and not feel compelled to pursue reconciliation.

when Christian husbands and wives are not praying together.

when our marriages are co-existing rather than full of the love of Christ.

when our children are growing up to adopt worldly values, secular philosophies, and ungodly lifestyles.

when we are more concerned about our children's education and their athletic activities than about the condition of their souls.

when sin in the church is pushed under the carpet.

when known sin is not dealt with through the biblical process of discipline and restoration.

when we tolerate "little" sins of gossip, a critical spirit, and lack of love.

when we will watch things on television and movies that are not holy.

when our singing is half-hearted and our worship lifeless.

when our prayers are empty words designed to impress others.

when our prayers lack fervency.

when our hearts are cold and our eyes are dry.

when we aren't seeing regular evidence of the supernatural power of God.

when we have ceased to weep and mourn and grieve over our own sin and the sin of others.

when we are content to live with explainable, ordinary Christianity and church services.

when we are bored with worship.

when people have to be entertained to be drawn to church.

when our music and dress become patterned after the world.

when we start fitting into and adapting to the world, rather than calling the world to adapt to God's standards of holiness.

when we don't long for the company and fellowship of God's people.

when people have to be begged to give and to serve in the church.

when our giving is measured and calculated, rather than extravagant and sacrificial.

when we aren't seeing lost people drawn to Jesus on a regular basis.

when we aren't exercising faith and believing God for the impossible.

when we are more concerned about what others think about us than what God thinks about us.

when we are unmoved by the fact that 2.5 billion people in this world have never heard the name of Jesus.

when we are unmoved by the thought of neighbors, business associates, and acquaintances who are lost and without Christ.

when the lost world around us doesn't know or care that we exist.

when we are making little or no difference in the secular world around us.

when the fire has gone out in our hearts, our marriages, and the church.

when we are blind to the extent of our need and don't think we need revival.

Is revival our work or God's?
We ask Him to send revival, yet we hold "revival services." He is "the Reviver," but we print articles on how to experience revival. Sound contradictory?

The Scriptures teach that the Holy Spirit is the source of spiritual life and power.

Without Him, there can be no revival or awakening. At the same time, believers must respond in faith to His leading, obeying His call and surrendering to His will.
